Drive C type/Drive D type
The categories identify the types of hard disk drive C or drive D that have been installed in the
computer. There are 46 predefined types and a user definable type. Type 1 to Type 46 are
predefined. Type User is user-definable.
Press PgUp or PgDn to select a numbered hard disk type or type the number and press <Enter>.
Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not
work properly if you enter improper information for this category. If your hard disk drive type is
not matched or listed, you can use Type User to define your own drive type manually.
If you select Type ?User?, related information is asked to be entered to the following items. Enter
the information directly from the keyboard and press <Enter>. This information should be provided
in the documentation from your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer.
There are the option of Type ?AUTO? and Mode ?AUTO? to auto detect the hard disk type and the
hard disk mode (Normal, LBA and Large).
If a hard disk has not been installed select NONE and press <Enter>.
Note: Mode Setting For Hard Disk Larger than 528MB
The Mode settings are for IDE hard disks only. You can ignore this item for MFM and ESDI
drivers. There are three entries you can select from in the mode field, ?Normal?, ?Large? and
?LBA?.
Set Mode to the Normal settings for IDE hard disk drives smaller than 528MB. Use the LBA
setting for drives over 528MB that use Logical Block Addressing mode to allow larger IDE hard
disks. The Large setting is for drives over 528MB that do not use the LBA mode. This type of drive
can only be used with MS-DOS and is uncommon. The majority of IDE drives over 528MB use the
LBA mode.
Drive A type/Drive B type
The category identifies the types of floppy disk drive A or drive B that have been installed in the
computer.
Video
The category selects the type of adapter used for the primary system monitor that must match your
video display card and monitor. Although secondary monitors are supported, you do not have to
select the type in Setup.
